Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bubbl at none against Clockout's 18. Bubbl also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (89% vs 64%). Clockout's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (7.9K vs 101). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Clockout holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clockout has 7.9K ratings behind it against 101, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Clockout's written reviews are positive against 89% of Bubbl's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Clockout ships an update weekly, Bubbl every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
